7 Jul 2024 at 22:20 on post Is it just me, or does the weekend seem shorter and shorter as the years go by? #WeekendFeels #TimeFlies...

@me I used to visualize the weekdays/weekend cycle like this, and it was never played out the way I hoped, strangely enough! ๐Ÿ˜…

(Excuse the quick'n'dirty ASCII art)

And in actual response to what you posted, _everything_ seems shorter and faster as we get older, probably something to do with the size relative to our already lived lifetimes.

@j @me
Exactly. To a one year old child, one year is a lifetime. To a 20 year old, one year is 5% of a lifetime. When you get to 50 years old, it's down to 2%. It's all relative

@me The weekend is the same. It's our perception of time that speeds up.

@me I always say that the length of the weekend is inversely proportional to how much we needed it.

A few times, in my life, I've experienced moments of complete well-being. It's hard to explain, but it's like mind and body live a moment of total and complete peace and harmony. As if all thoughts suddenly disappear, and the body becomes something ethereal. This only lasts a few seconds, but it's so intense and engaging that it leaves an impression on my mood for days.

After a long time, for a few moments today, I felt this sensation, this emotion, this well-being. In the meantime, there was this song playing. I've always liked it, but from today it will evoke the memory of that moment. A memory I will carry with me for life.

@stefano There's also another way - meditation.

Have a nice day! ๐Ÿ™‚

@stefano for some reason, every time I've tried getting Alpine vms to work on FreeBSD they fail to boot because they can't find the kernel, both with your blog post settings and with the default profile (I was using vm-bhyve at the time). Eventually I gave up and tried Debian, and it worked right away. Never managed to figure out why though.

@stefano There are lots of topics and classics in this story!

A WP plugin allowed remote code execution, it uses unmonitored autoscaling in the cloud, and dev team decides "we need moar power!". Classics on top of classics!

I believe this have to happen like every day around the world.

Now, I'd like to point that is not that Alpine/Linux is less secure than FreeBSD. It's just more popular, so vulnerable WP plugins execute Linux binaries if they can.

I am a firm defender of both cloud and self-host. In one hand, It's very hard to have the physical security and electrical/network redundancy of an actual datacenter. On the other hand, no cloud provider will offer truly data ownership, sovereignty and vendor independence . So, both approaches have their places.

I've seen AWS billings that would buy very nice hardware, every month. And salaries of "cloud experts" are no cheaper that old-school sysadmins. Specially if you have to pay their cloud certifications too.

I hope that manager learned the lesson.

@stefano I want to extend my thanks to the entire BSD community for their outpouring of love and support in the wake of the passing of Mike Karels.

The family is touched and honored by all the kind words and memories that were shared. Knowing that there are people all around the world who's lives were touched by Mike's work and his kindness is a tremendous comfort as we navigate this new normal of life without Mike in it.

Thank you all,
Kristin

@stefano It's not well documented, but zfs also supports taking atomic snapshots of collections of datasets. The underling snapshot ioctl that the zfs command uses takes an nvlist of snapshots to create.

This means that you don't need pool snapshots to create a consistent atomic snapshot of a set of filesystems and can create a snapshot of a subset of all of your ZFS filesystems (for example, all of the ones that contain system data, but not home directories, allowing you to roll back base-system + ports upgrades, without losing user data).

Very interesting. I was knowing this feature, but without a "guide".

This has been (and still is) a very special week. The past 7 days have been emotionally (and, to a lesser extent, work-wise) very challenging. And even when I'm tired, I realize that, in my opinion, I have the best job in the world. Because working with open-source tools provides everyone with the same opportunities, in the most open and free manner possible. Few fields offer the same conditions, and I feel like I belong to a great group, a group of passionate and constructive people, without any distinctions of any kind.
